According to what I read on it the coaches can nominate up tp 6 players. If they nominate the same player on both offense and defense that counts as two. The deadline for the nominations was Dec. 29th. Honestly, I am sure their are a number of deserving athletes that get left off for one reason or another. I was just trying to give props to the kids that did make it.

I did not see him on the list. I will check again and apologize if I missed him. The coaches nominate players from their teams and PNG is represented.

Congrats to the area kids recognized on the TSWA All state list.

Region 3 will be a juggernaut. Districts 10 and 11 are two of the strongest in the state. Angleton, Hightower, Friendswood, Cedar Park. Hutto might also factor in. PAM is the favorite out of district 9. I am anxious to see who NC will have at QB this year. NC strength will be the defensive secondary.

I think he may have meant no splits in the playoffs. 6A does split into D1 and D2 come play offs just not already split by district.

New Caney 1. Crosby 2. Houston Heights 3. Willis

I think they may have beat Caney Creek also.

Mine was New Caney beating Crosby on the road.

All I can say is wow! What a game.

This was very sad to hear, however their is a bright side to this as well. Cole was an organ donor. His heart is being transplanted into a very deserving young man who I happen to know. This young man has attended a few high school games with me. Please say a prayer for him too.

Wow what a play by Manvel QB. Being sacked somehow flips it back to RB who took it to the house on third and 13. Missed XP. 13-7 1:35 first. Manvel does not have much of a kicking game.

Manvel and Temple tied at 7 4:57 first.

Manuel up on Temple 7-0 5:48 first.
